SOME ADVICE WIVES.

Remember that you are married to
a man and not to a god; be prepared
for imperfections. "
Anticipate the discovery by your
husband that you are "only a woman;
if you were not he would not care
about you.
Once in a while let your husband
have the last word; it will crafty him
and be no particular loss to you.
Be reasonable; it is a great deal to
ask under some circumstances, but do
try; reasonable women are rare-be
rare.
Remember that servants are made
of the same material as you are; a lit
tie coarser grained, perhaps, but the
same in essentials.
Try and forget yourself; as to your
husband, forget that you married him,
and remember that he married you;
he will then probably do the reverse.
Let him read the newspaper at the
breakfast-table; it is unsociable, but
then, it is only a trifle, after all, and
he likes it..
Let him know more than you do
once in a while; it keeps up his self
respect, and you are none the worse
for admitting that you are not actually
infallible.
Read something in the papers be-
sides fashion notes and societycolumns;
have some knowledge of what is going
OF in foreign countries.
Be a companion to your husband if
he is a wise man; and if he is not, try
to make him become your companion;
Raise his standard, do not let him low
er yours.
Respect your husbands relations,
especially his mother-she is none the
less his mother, because she is your
mother-in-law; she loved him before
you did.-Brooklyn Magazine. =
